The Haunted Bell by Jacques Futrelle is about a man living in Japan who suddenly hears someone ring his bell, but sees nobody there. Excerpt: "It was a thing, trivial enough, yet so strangely mystifying in its happening that the mind hesitated to accept it as an actual occurrence despite the indisputable evidence of the sense of hearing. As the seconds ticked on, Franklin Phillips was not at all certain that it had happened, and gradually the doubt began to assume the proportions of a conviction."
